Paris Is Burning Lyrics

43, it's raining in gay Paris
Where would I rather be?
On this autumn night?
Small cafe
We sit and drink anyway
Look out at the stars tonight
It's a bombers moon

Paris is burning
I heard it on the BBC
Paris is burning
Au revoir ma bonne Paris

Paris is burning
I heard it on the radio
Paris is burning
But the people refuse to go

Searching lights
Fan the sky and break up the night
Moths caught in a beam of light
Trying to leave
Children cry
As the fireworks light up the sky
Headfine is homing in
Now it's do or die

Paris is burning
I heard it on the BBC
Paris is burning
Au revoir ma bonne Paris

Paris is burning
I heard it on the radio
Paris is burning
But the people refuse to go

Solo

Paris is burning
I heard it on the BBC
Paris is burning
Au revoir ma bonne Paris

Paris is burning
I heard it on the radio
Paris is burning
But the people refuse to go
